Bottom team Trinidad and Tobago, who hadn’t won in nine games, shocked the US as they raced into a 2-0 first-half lead thanks to an own goal from Omar Gonzalez and a thunderous strike from Alvin Jones.

Star man Christian Pulisic pulled one back after half-time, and despite the best efforts of substitute Clint Dempsey, who hit a post late on, the US couldn’t find an equaliser, which left them to rely on other scores going their way.

Unfortunately for Bruce Arena’s side, Panama grabbed a late goal through Roman Torres to earn a 2-1 victory and go above them in the table.

Panama’s win was not without controversy, however, as their equalising goal appeared not to have crossed the line.
